Custom Pool Questions & Answers
Answers to the questions we hear most about building a custom concrete pool.
Can I build a swimming pool in my yard?
In the vast majority of cases, yes! But it can depend on the size of the outdoor space you want to enhance, access to the backyard, existing site conditions, local zoning and building rules, and any covenants and restrictions in your neighborhood community (if applicable).
What are the different types of in-ground swimming pools?
Fiberglass, vinyl liner, and concrete, also referred to as “shotcrete” or “gunite” (the only type that we design and build at Morris Pools).
What are some of the advantages of a concrete swimming pool compared to the other types available?
A concrete pool is the most durable option (when constructed properly), and can be customized with an endless array of options to tailor the design to your lifestyle, with unmatched aesthetic appeal to complement your home. Fiberglass and vinyl liner pools can be functional at a lower price point, but are limited in customization, overall appeal, and longevity of the in-ground structure. Our level of design is what we believe distinguishes our team.
How much does an in-ground concrete pool cost?
Each of our projects is uniquely designed, so price varies with shape, size, water depths, finish materials and features, as well as access to your backyard and any site work your lot needs, such as demolition, grading, retaining walls or drainage. Every project is custom-priced; we’ll give you a clear range at your design consultation.
How long does it take to build a custom swimming pool?
Most custom pools take about 4 to 6 months of construction once permits are approved, depending on the size of the project, custom features and weather. We give you a target timeline before construction begins so you always know what to expect.
